Rich Mustang / Duo-Sonic Sounds

With handwound coils pressed around the custom magnets and wax potted in a combination of paraffin & beeswax, my new Creamery Sonic '60 Strat replacement pickups give that richer, musical sound synonimous with the old classic Burns Tri-Sonic® design.

Geometry dictates they won't sound identical to the old 60s classics as the pickups are smaller (standard Strat / Mustang / Duo-Sonic size) and I use my custom made thinner magnets inside the pressed coil, but they do have the richer voice you'd expect.

Mustang / Duo-Sonic Sized - Designed to fit with no modifications needed

Unlike the larger originals, my Sonic '60 pickups have been designed to fit a standard scratchplate & body cavity but with outputs of 7k & 6.3k respectively - created to balance the old vintage sounds with a modern spin they have a richer, warmer, more rounded, musical voice than a standard Mustang / Duo-Sonic pickup set.

With a choice of magnets, you can choose to have a warmer or brighter version. Alnico 2 'holds' the strings a little less, allowing them to vibrate a little more freely giving a perceived slightly warmer, more resonant sound.

Ceramic, being stronger, holds the strings a little more giving a slightly more attacking, slightly brighter voice.

Alnico 5 offers a slightly brighter overall sound than Alnico 2 but richer and more rounded than the ceramic option.

True Chrome Plated Covers

Wanting these pickups to be something special I've had custom chrome plated covers manufactured. These aren't plastic covers, they're very thin brass that I've had custom tooled and chrome plated. I've also designed them with the Tri-Sonic® style oversize holes and more rounded/rolled edge covers for a unique look.

Custom Made

Each pickup order is Custom Made in

40-45 Days

Each pickup is custom made by hand and I simply work through orders one-by-one. I had to increase the lead time simply due to demand but let me know if you need them sooner for recording or gigs / live dates.
